Introduction
The Navas Instruments StreamLab is a laboratory automation system designed for seamless XRF spectrometry workflows. It enables unattended overnight operation with minimal operator intervention and relies on a Windows-based software platform for configurable, repeatable, and error-resistant sample processing.

Key features

• User-friendly software: Windows-based interface with customizable themes, a ribbon bar for quick access to common functions and flexible panels for intuitive navigation.
• Multi-sample compatibility: Supports fusion beads, pellets, powders and liquids to cover diverse XRF sample types.
• High-capacity conveyor system: Conveyor configured for 5 to 7 trays, each tray holding 24 samples, enabling batch processing of up to 168 samples per cycle.
• Collaborative robotics: Collaborative robotic arm operating at low speed and low force for safe, flexible and precise sample handling; designed for future programmability.
• QR code scanning and data import: Arm-mounted camera for QR code reading; optional import of sample lists from text or CSV files with configurable fields and formats.
• Configurable stack light: Visual indicator configurable to show ready, active or warning states based on user-defined conditions.
• Advanced data management: Export sample and result data in JSON format with fully customizable fields.
• Flexible acquisition options: Available for purchase, rental, lease-to-own or trial rental with purchase credit.

Automated workflow

• Spectrometer preparation: Robotic arm opens the spectrometer cover automatically to prepare for loading.
• Sample identification: Conveyor positions trays for identification; the arm-mounted camera reads QR codes or the software imports sample lists from text/CSV files.
• Sample loading: Collaborative robot picks samples from the tray and places them into the XRF spectrometer one by one with precision.
• Analysis initiation: After loading, the arm closes the spectrometer cover and the software triggers the XRF analysis automatically.
• Result capture: The system captures and stores analysis results for accurate data logging.
• Sample return: The robotic arm reopens the cover, retrieves samples and returns them to their positions on the tray.
• Batch transition: Conveyor advances to the next batch and the process repeats seamlessly.
